About this listen
Una hilarante novela de aprendizaje en la que nadie aprende nada
Casi veinte años después de la publicación de El vientre de la ballena, Javier Cercas, convertido ya en uno de los escritores fundamentales del panorama europeo, asumió un reto fascinante: revisar el libro del novelista que fue, enfrentarse a sus propios orígenes.
El resultado es una novela a la vez reconocible y nueva, donde la sabiduría y la eficacia del autor maduro aciertan a potenciar la frescura y el humor del joven. De ese modo, la tragicómica experiencia del treintañero Tomás, inmerso en una transformación vital tan profunda como la de Jonás en el vientre de la ballena, da pie a un relato extraordinario, delicioso y melancólico, poblado de personajes inolvidables, por el que avanzamos como por una irónica novela de aprendizaje en la que solo se aprende que no hay nada que aprender, o salvo que solo se puede aprender si se aceptan la inextricable complejidad de las relaciones humanas, las perplejidades del corazón y los espejismos de la felicidad.
La crítica ha dicho sobre Javier Cercas:
«Le felicito, le envidio malsanamente y me quito el sombrero que no llevo.»
Sergi Pamies
«Cercas pertenece a la estirpe de los grandes escritores.»
Livres Hebdo
Sobre Anatomía de un instante:
«Una de las obras capitales de la literatura en lengua castellana de nuestra época.»
Alberto Manguel
«Un libro necesario.»
Félix Romeo
Sobre Soldados de Salamina:
«Una parábola magistral sobre la violencia política, el sufrimiento, pero también, y decisivamente, sobre la extraña lógica de la compasión y la reconciliación. Soldados de Salamina debería convertirse en un clásico.»
George Steiner
«Todo el mundo admirará esta novela sencilla pero llena de talento.»
Doris Lessing, The Guardian
«Un magistral contador de historias.»
J.M. Coetzee
«Con una honestidad y delicadeza irresistibles, Cercas ha escrito una novela maravillosa.»
Susan Sontag
«Un libro magnífico..., uno de los mejores que he leído en mucho tiempo.»
Mario Vargas Llosa, El País

Junio de 1960. Un temporal mantiene aisladas en la idílica isla de Utakos, frente a Corfú, a nueve personas alojadas en el pequeño hotel local. Nada hace presagiar lo que está a punto de ocurrir: Edith Mander, una discreta turista inglesa, aparece muerta en el pabellón de la playa. Lo que parece un suicidio revela indicios imperceptibles para cualquiera salvo para Hopalong Basil, un actor en decadencia que en otro tiempo encarnó en la pantalla al más célebre detective de todos los tiempos.

Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

After a tumultuous breakup, a quick career transition, family upheaval, and a sobriety journey that didn't fix her life quite as much as she expected it to, Alice decides that the only way to solve all her problems is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. But as she begins preparing for the months-long quest, she realizes the answers she's seeking might not be on top of a snow-covered mountain. Especially since she just learned there was snow in California.

Story
Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel.
